From eWeek: OpenAI has released Sora 2, its new and improved video generation model. The standout feature is “cameos,” where users can place a realistic avatar of themselves, or any human, animal, or object, in a generated clip.
To generate a cameo, a user just needs to capture a short, one-time video and audio recording of themselves. This can then be saved and brought into different videos through OpenAI’s new standalone “Sora” app, which is being launched alongside Sora 2.
The app is designed to be a new social networking platform, powered by Sora 2, rather than a simple AI video generator. Rumours of OpenAI joining the social app market were swirling back in April.
As well as creating their own videos, friends on the Sora app will be able to edit each other’s and bring in each other’s cameos. “At a time when all major platforms are moving away from the social graph, we think cameos will reinforce community,” the Sora team wrote in their announcement.
